This is actually a pretty good use of AI. I definitely believe the cop saying he couldn't write anything better. Set up a proper review process, and it could be helpful.
The rules of evidence place a lot (honestly an unreasonable amount) of weight on the value of eyewitness evidence, and contemporaneous reports made from the same. The question for the courts will be, does an AI summary of a video recording have the same value as a human-written report from memory?
I agree that this is good use of AI, but would suggest that th courts should require an AI report to basically have the body cam recording stapled to it, ideally with timestamped references in the report. AI transcriptions are decent, but not perfect, and in cases where there could be confusion the way the courts treat these reports should allow for both parties to review and offer their own interpretations.
This would make sense to include as something that is supplemental to the officers report to help corroborate facts. The question becomes what would happen when the AI summary and officers report conflict
Or when the llm hallucinates shit that didn’t happen?
The biggest problem with this is… who do you blame when it doesn’t work?
Yeah, but we all know that review isn't going to happen. Reviewing it takes almost as much time, and I'm pretty sure actually more mental effort than just writing it yourself.
